Chapter 88 3.11 The Last Person in the Array

The main purpose of this voyage north is to find the ships left behind by Xiao Lu's expedition team. At this time, I saw the sea surface solidly frozen by ice, but I didn’t see the ship.

This is not a good sign.

But the "living sacrifice" points to exactly the same direction. The next howl came from within the ice.

Loki knew that now was the time for him, the captain, to make a decision.

We have gone through all kinds of hardships to get here, but it is unjustifiable not to go ashore and take a look. After thinking briefly for a few minutes, he decided to let out the sled dogs and run towards the location where the sound came from to see what was deep in the smooth ice.

There are only 12 sled dogs and only two sled cars. The limited transportation space determines that most of the crew still have to stay on the ship. There are many fish in the nearby sea, and the glaciers that can be seen everywhere on the land are also formed by the solidification of fresh water.

The ship docked here, so there was no shortage of food and drinking water.

At this time, the sky was covered with stars. After the Vikings loaded a large amount of food and fresh water, dog biscuits for the sled dogs, and ravens for communication onto the sled, Loki found that only five more people could sit on the sled.

In the end, Loki, Emma, ​​the ship's doctor Lawrence Nightingale, and Mr. Gore Marash, who was almost on the verge of death, accompanied Loki and set off. 4 of the 5 people are chosen by God, plus one explorer.

Of course, there was also the "living sacrifice" in the car who was responsible for shouting. A series of high-frequency shouts can accurately point out the direction for Loki. In this era without GPS, this thing is much easier to use than a compass.

It is worth mentioning that the ship's doctor Lawrence kept talking about carrying the huge cross behind his back. When he got on the sleigh, he did not put it down but continued to carry the weight.

"The light of the Holy Lord will eventually shine on this dark continent. At this time, the name of our Hanshui Village Evangelical Church will be spread in the mouths of all the Holy Lord monks."

Lawrence gave his own explanation, and Loki said nothing more.

Everyone officially started the adventure as the crew waved goodbye. The sled dogs, which had been suffocating in the cabin for nearly a month, were finally able to relax after being released. They were full of energy and ran tirelessly. Six sled dogs pulling a sled can reach a speed of almost 20 kilometers per hour.

They galloped all night. When the sun appeared the next day, they stopped.

Looking around, Loki found that after running all night, they were still on a slippery ice surface. There are no caves or vegetation here, just endless flat ice and a few icebergs frozen in place like hills.

After the sun appeared, it just made a small circle close to the horizon, and immediately sank under the frozen earth. Loki's intuition told him that even if this place was not within the Arctic Circle, it must not be far from it.

The sled dogs have been running for nearly 6 hours. They needed a rest, and after sitting in the uncomfortable sled for six hours in the cold wind, Loki felt like he was on the verge of collapse.

But there was nothing on the frozen sea. They could only find the foot of an iceberg to block the wind. Then everyone encountered another problem.

There is no firewood here.

In the severe cold of about minus 30 degrees, humans must rely on campfires if they want to rest. Otherwise, once they fall asleep in the ice and snow, whether they can wake up depends on the arrangements of the gods in the sky.

In desperation, Loki could only smash a large wooden box on the sled, and then tied the hands and feet of the "living sacrifice" with ropes into the shape of a large bowl and put the supplies inside.

In this way, everyone barely survived the first night.

When they woke up, the chopped wooden boxes had been burned long ago. The cold wind at night made the four of them shiver, and they only slept for a few hours. Loki huddled in the bearskin and thought for a long time——

Do you want to return here?

At this time, his situation was already much better than at the beginning. Hanshui Village has just annexed Wuya Town. It needs people, money, and two sailing ships that can go to the ocean.

According to the progress of ordinary online games, he has completed a copy and obtained the first purple equipment. It is now the time to decide to kill everyone.

Do I really deserve to come up to the hell of ice and snow and suffer?

But then I thought about it, I had already come so far on this ocean voyage, maybe if I persisted I could find the ancient city recorded in my account.

Give up, but feel unwilling to do so.

After everyone woke up, they quickly patted their bodies to warm themselves up. The sled dogs regained their strength after a night of adequate rest and food, and the group set off again, running forward following the roar of the living sacrifices.

This run lasted another 8 hours.

Eight hours later, there was still ice as far as the eye could see. The enthusiasm of Loki and everyone around him fell to the bottom. They discovered that the howling sound of this living sacrifice actually came from under their feet!

After bringing the torch close to the ice, Loki could vaguely see a vague figure frozen under the ice through the dim light of the torch. After the ship's doctor Nightingale released the Holy Light spell, he saw that the living sacrifice had been frozen under 5 meters of ice!

The dim light from the torch cannot penetrate the thick ice, but the Holy Light spell can. Lying on the ice, you can see that the cross of this living sacrifice was inserted into a snow-white iceberg.

Living sacrifices, crosses, and icebergs are already embedded in the ice. However, even in this environment, this "living sacrifice" can still vibrate his Adam's apple and howl!

Loki had a rough understanding of the legends of the Mayan civilization. They were the best in the world in astronomical observation and invented the number "0". Their knowledge of basic mathematics and physics far exceeded that of all contemporary civilizations.

There are many records of ancient aircraft on the pyramid murals excavated in later generations. Some scientists made a 1:1 replica based on the proportions of the aircraft drawn on the murals. The strange-shaped aircraft actually conformed to aerodynamics.

The mysterious "living sacrifice" in this plane does have its own extraordinary features.

In addition to the living sacrifice under the ice, what made everyone pessimistic was that there was no other sound coming from the front.

Urging the living sacrifice next to him to shout, except for the one under the ice who shouted, there was a dead silence in front, and no sound. The dark, empty frozen sea surface was only accompanied by the occasional biting cold wind.

Apart from this, it was a Jedi without any vitality.

"Boss, do you want me to use a hammer to dig out the old guy under the ice?"

Among the five people, Emma and old man Gore still maintained the enthusiasm when they just set out. Loki waved his hand and approached the ice surface to think.

According to the arrangement pattern of the previous "living sacrifices", when Xiao Lu's fleet just entered this sea area, this should still be a flowing ocean.

Perhaps after ten years, the lower temperature has caused this sea to freeze?

It seems that there is a saying that the permafrost in the Arctic Circle is responsible for regulating the global climate. When the climate is too hot, the ice will melt a little, and when the climate is cold, the ice will condense again.

If this is the case, combined with the shouting of no living sacrifices coming from the front

Their fleet is very likely to be ahead.
